Chapter 576 Su Qiwen Accepts
The eldest prince was very happy when he knew about it. He did not think that Murong Li and his wife had made a wrong decision. He also did not like being the emperor and was willing to go with them.
Moreover, since all six children are able to practice, they don’t want to be confined here. There is a wider world waiting for them.
However, the prince Murong Mo who was chosen was not fit for the throne yet. He was too young and had no support from his mother's family. He could only rely on the Duke's Mansion and some old ministers who followed Murong Li, but these were not enough to intimidate the entire Xifeng Kingdom.
There is more than one Xifeng Kingdom, there is also a Beifeng Kingdom, which is equivalent to two countries. With his current ability, he is indeed not up to the task.
They decided to wait for another two years. After two years, no matter whether Murong Mo was competent or not, they didn't want to stay here anymore. At that time, they would let Su Qiwen be the regent.
Su Qiwen is capable and intimidating, and he became the Prime Minister in his thirties.
The older he gets, the stronger his abilities become, and he becomes more suitable to be an emperor.
Su Yue suddenly had an idea. Since Su Qiwen had the ability, why not hand over Beifeng Kingdom to him and let Murong Mo take charge of Xifeng Kingdom, so that there would be four countries in a three-way confrontation again.
Thinking of this, Su Yue became excited. This way, she didn't have to worry about Su Qiwen becoming more powerful than his master and making Murong Mo feel apprehensive.
If the emperor wants someone dead, it will be useless even if he gives him ten golden medals of immunity from death.
It would be different if he became the emperor of Beifeng Kingdom.
When Murong Li came back in the evening, she told him her idea.
Murong Li said mysteriously, "Yuer, guess how I will arrange it?"
Su Yue's eyes lit up: "Could it be that you have had this idea for a long time?"
"clever."
Murong Li kissed her and looked at Su Yue with admiration. His wife was different. She understood things very quickly.
"Ahhh...Murong Li, I love you so much."
Su Yue excitedly threw herself into Murong Li's arms and hugged him tightly with both hands. Her man really doted on her to the core.
Who would give up the country to others? Others would fight for it even if it meant death, but what about him?
Su Yue was so happy that she gave him a sweet kiss.
In the end, Murong Li ate it all.
Su Yue...her back pain and leg cramps were all her own fault.
The next day, Murong Li left court early and took Su Qiwen to the imperial study.
Now the country of Xifeng is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even if there are natural disasters, they will have no impact on the people.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project was completed a long time ago, so there is basically nothing to do in court now. The memorials submitted by ministers are all about the gossips of the Dong family and the Li family. There is really nothing to report.
"Sit down."
Murong Li pointed to the chair opposite him.
Su Qiwen nodded and sat down opposite Murong Li. After more than ten years of getting along with each other, the two of them became as close as brothers and no longer cared about the relationship between ruler and subject.
After the two sat down, Eunuch Li came up immediately to add tea. His master, Eunuch Nine, also left after the emperor left. Eunuch Li had been serving Murong Li ever since then and had been his chief eunuch.
Murong Li waved to him. Eunuch Li knew that they had something important to discuss, so he immediately withdrew, closed the door of the imperial study, and stood guard outside, not allowing anyone to disturb them.
"I called you here today because I have something to tell you."
Su Qiwen: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Murong Li cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, you know Yue'er doesn't like the palace. She has been very anxious and annoyed staying in the palace for these years.
And you also know that I brought those two brothers back to inherit Lian's throne. In two years, when he is able to succeed, I will pass the throne of Xifeng Kingdom to him, and we will leave as a family."
Su Qiwen frowned: "Are you going to look for that place?"
Su Qiwen had known about Murong Li's family's cultivation of Taoism for a long time, but he was unable to practice it.
Murong Li nodded and said, "We may not come back this time, but Xifeng Kingdom is such a big country. If we leave it to Murong Mo alone, I am afraid he will not be able to protect it. I don't know what the future of Xifeng Kingdom will be.
Therefore, I have discussed with Yue'er that I will hand over the Northern Phoenix Kingdom to you. If the Western Phoenix Kingdom is attacked by another country one day, you can lend a hand and ensure that the Western Phoenix Kingdom is not destroyed."
Su Qiwen paused for a moment, then looked at Murong Li and nodded solemnly, "Since the emperor has made a decision, I cannot stop him even if I want to. I will definitely not let the emperor down in the mission he has entrusted to me."
Su Qiwen thought about it and finally decided to accept Murong Li's arrangement. The Duke's Mansion was at its peak in Xifeng Kingdom. If Murong Li really left, the Duke's Mansion would become a thorn in his side.
He really didn't want to confront the Murong family head-on. If Beifeng Kingdom was handed over to him, the Murong family would have to think twice before dealing with him.
Su Qiwen's ability is no match for Murong Li's, and he is not afraid of anyone who wants to compete with him.
"In that case, you should take charge of the affairs of the court and leave for Beifeng Kingdom as soon as possible. When you arrive, find An Er. Everything in Beifeng Kingdom is in his hands, and he will help you ascend the throne."
Su Qiwen stood up and bowed to Murong Li: "I obey your command."
Murong Li gestured for him to sit down: "I am relieved that you can accept it. With you in charge of Xifeng Kingdom, we will feel at ease when we leave in the future."
Su Qiwen: "Actually, I want to go with you, but my own conditions are there, so I can only be trapped here."
Moreover, his conditions were not comparable to Murong Li's. He had elderly parents and young children to take care of. Even if he had the conditions to practice Taoism, it would be impossible for him to follow them.
Murong Li glanced at him and said, "Don't think about those trivial things. Just protect the peace of Beifeng Kingdom. Even if you have the conditions for cultivation, you can't leave freely."
Su Qiwen laughed and said, "You are the roundworm in my stomach."
"That's right. After all, we have been together for more than ten years."
"Alas, you are really leaving. We are not used to it and we are reluctant to let you go."
"You'll get used to it slowly, and people will just disperse as they walk along."
"That's true. In that case, I will go back and make some arrangements. I'll take my grandparents with me when the time comes. They're almost eighty years old, so let them experience the joy of being Grand Empress Dowager and Grand Empress Dowager."
"When you decide to leave, let us know. Let Yue'er go with you. It will be much safer for Yubi to go with you."
Su Qiwen did not refuse. After bowing to Murong Li, he left the imperial study, left the palace and went straight back to the Duke's Mansion.
He immediately went to the Duke's courtyard and told him everything Murong Li had said to him.
During these ten years, the Duke has aged a lot, but he is not too old and frail, and is still very energetic.
He stroked his gray beard and closed his eyes for a moment, thinking: "Did they say when they would leave?"
"No, Grandfather, isn't your focus off? I'm asking you if I want to take over the throne of the North Wind Kingdom."
